That’s my intention, I don’t use the car on a daily basis only for out of town runs to relatives and days out. I am going to sit it out until that time.

Nothing to do with age, in the previous incident the Thai neighbours told me not to get involved as they had called the Police. If I had give the guy a hiding it would been spun round to say foreigner beat man up, then what would that have led to, court case etc.

I already have a couple tyres ready for his move, it appears round here it’s what people do to reserve their parking place outside their property, people respect it.

I don’t want direct confrontation with a Thai wether officially or unofficially neither does my Thai wife, it could end in a bad way, we have been down that road before. TBH I am not looking for suggestions or a solution just pointing out how ignorant some one can be. I am sure if he did park in front of a Thai owned house some thing would be said but he thinks he can do what he wants because a foreigner lives there knowing nothing can be done about.

I don’t live in a village to start with, the thing mentioned I have no idea who or what it is.

No need to the air is coming out by itself.

I made hand signals to suggest we swop places where the cars are parked, ignored my request, it was very clear what I was suggesting, if I was a Thai he might have done but no way will he do what a foreigner asks is my belief.

We don’t live in a village.

I keep getting advice about approaching him I have already done so, suggesting I will assist him to move the car which is actually nearer to where he is living, no way am I going to try and bribe him with booze.

His brother parks his car outside where he is currently living, I gave him the opportunity the other day but he just blanked me.

I pointed out I have no access to my house, he ignored me,

At the end of the day if the fella feels like that I am not going to lose any sleep over it, it’s just sheer ignorance of him which tbh could occur in any country. It could probably be dealt with better in another country but we have no idea the mentality of the owner of the car.

How do you determine that, we have lived here for years with never a problem, we have great neighbours a mixture of Thais and foreigners but unfortunately 1 bad egg turned up the other week.

I live opposite, I can’t get the turning circle to get in the gate, fortunately I was out when the car was left or it would have meant I could not get the car out.

The offending vehicle as you can see the tyres are starting to deflate already.

As I said I don’t want to be involved with anything physically involved with moving the vehicle as it could impact on my family.

I think you are joking, I don’t want to do anything where the finger could be pointed at me or my family.

You forget this is Thailand, I wouldn’t spend any time in a Thai Police cell..

Yes at the old house, my neighbour didn’t like the fact we had initially made a small garden, nothing would grow to the poor soil, so we give up on it. No one owned the land opposite and the ‘garden’ was not opposite his house. He got an old motorbike, some wood and parked the bike and a made a small shed where the garden was. We went on holiday once time and he removed a banana and a papaya tree. He distinctly didn’t like foreigners or Thai people from the north, I put it down to envy and jealousy. One evening my wife threw some water on the road, he thought she was throwing it rapt him and he started screaming and shouting abuse at her, she returned his abuse culminating in him assaulting her nearly breaking her wrist.after striking her with a bucket. My wife is not afraid but apprehensive to go and ask the brother but she is concerned he might do some thing to our car and get involved on another confrontation.

I bought mine via FB Marketplace, it was from a used car dealer who was advertising on FB MP, free advertising for them.

You have to remember we are invited guests here, in the last incident I was told to take a step back by our Thai friends and don’t get involved, I did want to knock the fellas head off though. I speak my mind and certainly would make more of a fuss if it was in my home country, my wife watches the news where people get shot over a simple argument probably that’s why she doesn’t want any confrontation.

We had an instance in the last house where the neighbour parked an old bike opposite the house just to annoy us, over the months several arguments developed even to the extent the Thai fella was writing abusive messages on the wall and making comments when walking past him. This culminated in violence where the fella assaulted my wife, this was tonight before we were due to fly to the U.K. The Police were called fella was given a written warning, we could have gone to the hospital to asses her injury but as we were were flying out the next day we didn’t bother. This is the main reason my wife doesn’t want confrontation as in her mind history could repeat itself, when she gets going she is unstoppable !

Tried that, handbrake on and it’s in park.

I have already suggested this to my wife, a big no no, she said, you don’t approach or question people in authority is her attitude.
